I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

I want… alcohol markers

every 3 months I remember I have a gouache palette, I revive all the paints, use it for 1 picture... then forget all over again

I think all artists want this, but I’d kill for a year with no need to hustle and instead can just focus on making new experimental work

I fear we might be getting out of here soon, my dudes (positive)

Clip Studio Paint is on sale! www.clipstudio.net/en/purchase/...

I wish bluesky had drafts so I can file my thoughts away for later lol

this is making the rounds on facebook so i thought id bring it here for u m'lord

I've been very reluctant about creating this, but it's something I needed to do. If anybody is able to help, whether it's through donations or sharing this - I would truly appreciate any support given. (I am incredibly stressed out right now) www.gofundme.com/f/help-akash...

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

you're the main reason to keep on going

A bunch of nasty foes you might encounter along your way :

might as well give it a shot lol 🕺🏽✨ thrn.co/u/melonberri

did interview. now I deserve a little treato

Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?

they let me in here... so now I'm like Mod™ Melon /j

nothing tastes like anything

Mesa update is just me constantly saying "The Sun is a Deadly Laserrr"

If you’re sick right now, please test for Covid. Stay home if it’s at all possible, and wear a mask. Ideally an N95. It’s not over. It was never over. No one is coming to save us so we must save each other. One of the best ways to do that is to commit to breaking chains of transmission!

Me writing Street Sharks is more impactful than me writing Storm. I say that because Storm would be what's expected of me, Street Sharks is a project that normally would not go to someone who looks like me. I'm a Black woman who can write Black women/girls AND sharks with abs.

I need a better mic

nvm it's covid-- ig I just tested too early

do people post comics here... anywho! a really old one! Dragon Whiskers (2019)

tested negative lets goooo

New scam going around it looks like, making a post to spread awareness about it!! 🗣️ If you get ANY messages similar to these where they're talking about there being an impersonator and ASKING YOU TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT APP D O N OT go any further with the conversation.

I wanna say as someone who didn’t participate in Art Fight, kudos to those who did. You all should be proud of yourselves, putting more art in the world, in any capacity is a great thing, even more so when it’s in a way that connects artists to other artists. I just loved seeing it all in my feed.

If my five year streak of not getting covid is broken I’m gonna be so pissed

Probably not.

I genuinely love how many names on twitch can have the word cum and not be banned lmao

Full transparency… It’s a little hard to pinpoint how much everything is going to cost financially, so Prof and I raised the goal for the GoFundMe. There is no pressure to keep supporting! But huge thank you for all of the amazing support while I go through treatment! gofund.me/9a6d3da6

This is praxis, I’m so serious. Politely wasting as much time as physically possible. Rage doesn’t work. Wasting their money complaining does. This thread contains a GREAT script for being a confused but polite menace, talking point by talking point

I can’t ever get myself to finish the soundtrack to a musical I haven’t seen because, on the off chance I get to see it someday, I can still be surprised by what happens lol

🕺🏽✨ I love my frieeends~ Now I gotta figure this out lol
